High-Power LEDs Offer Design Flexibility

Everlight Electronics Co. Ltd. introduced the 1W EHP-AX08/P01 and EHP-AX08/P03 3W high-power LED families. The emitters feature a silicon lens, high luminous flux (up to 90 lm/W) and low thermal resistance (15°C/W, Typ.). Sized in an industry-standard 8 mm × 8 mm × 5.7 mm SOP package, these LEDs are designed to handle higher reflow soldering temperatures and their silicon encapsulation prevents accelerated degradation. The devices optimize heat control by providing low thermal resistance, and save power since their high-lumens output allows the LED to be driven at lower currents. Prices start at $1.00 for the 1W version and $2.20 for the 3W version.
